Symptoms of Stomach Cancer are below. If you have stomach cancer, Alternative Medicine provides herbal remedies including essiac, ellagic acid, and graviola, and several electromedicine approaches from Rife, Lakhovsky, and Beck. Cancer is caused by an overly acid diet that changes symbiotic organisms into parasites. Avert cancer with an alkaline pH diet.

Stomach cancer is a type of cancer that forms a tumor or an ulcer in the inner lining of the stomach. Less commonly, the cancer spreads along the stomach wall without forming a discrete lump. This is called a diffuse tumor.

If discovered early, the stomach cancer will be contained within the stomach lining or stomach wall. However, cancer cells can also invade nearby organs, and break away and travel to other parts of the body via the blood stream and lymph channels.

Symptoms of Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer can grow slowly and imperceptibly, and the symptoms are non specific. This is the reason why most stomach cancers are not detected until a late stage. It can take a long time, often many months, from the time that symptoms first appear until the patient seeks medical help. These symptoms are common to other conditions apart from cancer of the stomach, and most people who see their doctor with these will not have cancer. Sometimes symptoms will only develop once the disease has spread beyond the stomach, for example to the liver, and liver cancer symptoms will be experienced.

Symptoms of stomach cancer include:

• Internal bleeding appearing as blood in the vomit

• Blood or black tar-like stools, or the bleeding may be so slight as to pass undetected.  The loss of blood will cause the patient to become anemic

• The tumor may obstruct the food passage causing vomiting, the first sign that something is wrong.

• Excessive belching can be an early and embarrassing symptom which can progress to a sensation of vague discomfort, followed by pain in the middle abdomen if the tumor grows through the stomach wall.

• Indigestion that does not go away.

• Difficulty eating, may become full easily when eating or drinking, loss of appetite

• Nausea

• Fatigue or weakness

• Heartburn

• Loss of weight

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• A bloated feeling after eating

• There may be an abdominal mass, abdominal swelling, pain and fullness in the right upper abdomen.

Today's medical doctors do not know the cause of cancer or how to prevent it. Prevention to them is really just early detection. Rather than watch for symptoms which may not occur until damage has been done, it may be more prudent to understand the cause of cancer and the means to prevent it. See the links below.
